Today on the show we have fashion icon Stacy London, formerly 'What Not to Wear' and currently the State of Menopause, and her girlfriend the hilarious comedian Cat Yezbak on the show to talk about their love story. We wanted to end Season 1 with a lot of laughs and a load of wisdom. 

In this episode we discuss publicly announcing a relationship, being dog parents,  LGBTQ between the generations, introducing family to your relationship, and balancing social media and privacy. We also ask ourselves  if "sparks" exist and how they pandemic proofed their relationship.

Send us a Text Message.

In a way, Frankie and Felicia have grown up together. They met in high school when she, in her words “Didn’t like him all that much.” But when they both came to faith after graduating, it was Facebook post that made Frankie slide into her DMs. He was pursuing a life in ministry – one that required him to be as committed to his role in the church as to his role as a partner. 

In this episode we talk about dating as Christians in a modern world, making time for each other despite demanding jobs, personal finances, and how to navigate offense in the relationship.

There once was a girl named Allie who lived in Long Island. She struggled to find a place and a person with whom she ‘fit’. On the same island was a boy, named Chuck, who too felt like he didn’t fit in. He had resigned himself to being alone. On Halloween night Allie went to a castle and ordered cocktail… and it was terrible. Chuck, who worked at the castle bar swept in to her rescue and offered to make her a replacement. And it was that love potion that finally brought them true love.
 
 In this episode we talk about family histories and generational healing, growing up bi-racial, manifesting your partner, and loving someone with a disability.
